The Oscars are less than a week away. If you feel that you haven’t seen enough of this year’s nominated movies, a few more of them hit Blu-ray this week to give you time to catch up. Better get on that – assuming you care at all about the Oscars, of course. New Releases (Blu-ray)...

Welcome back from another long weekend! It’s a brand new year, and if you believe in any of that Mayan calendar hokum, this may even be the last year that we as a species survive on this planet. That being the case, what more appropriate way to start things off than with an all-star apocalypse...

2011 Emmy Winners – Same As 2010 Emmy Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:00:44 +0000

I believe that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences needs to implement a major overhaul of the Emmy nomination process, such that once a person (in a specific role) or show wins a category, they should be retired from that category going forward. As it stands now, the system is designed to continually issue...

‘Mildred Pierce’ Parts 4-5 Recap: “Let’s Get Stinko”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:00:19 +0000

Drew reviewed the first three episodes of HBO’s ambitious ‘Mildred Pierce’ miniseries last week, and was pretty much over the moon for it. The final two parts aired this past Sunday and, when all is said and done, I don’t think I’m quite as enamored with it. Did any of our other readers watch this?...

‘Mildred Pierce’ Parts 1-3 Recap: “All the Cake in the World”

It should first be said that I think that Todd Haynes is one of the world’s greatest living filmmakers. In just a handful of films, he has cemented himself as a bold visionary, one who looks to interpret various aspects of popular culture and, in doing so, create something wholly new and unique. It’s with...
